Figure 1

Observation of rats on open-field activities (horizontal, vertical). Horizontal movement scores reflect range of motion; vertical movement scores reflect exploratory behaviors. High scores represent high degree of activity. A: normal group, B: model group, C: fluoxetine group, D: high-dose Shuyu group, E: medium-dose Shuyu group, and F: low-dose Shuyu group. All data are expressed as the 𝑥±𝑠, (𝑛=10). ★𝑃<0.05 versus other groups; ▲𝑃<0.05 versus model group.
